Re: Your opinion on the BCS...

its pretty clear to most people that outside of the top 2 or 3 teams, very very rarely does anyone else have a reasonable gripe against not being able to be the national champ. So, therefore a playoff is hardly *necessary*

It would however settle every debate as to which team was the true number one. But like i said, i really believe the number 1 team -- actually won the national championship every year since 1998.

Does anyone argue against that? Some may say utah in 09, but no way they'd have beaten florida. Or auburn in '05, but i don't think they'd beat USC.

So, it wouldn't really change the outcome of the naitonal champ

That's why they play the games... history shows the perceived underdog often has a chance. Since they didn't play, we'll never know.

It won't work without hurting the bottom 50-75% of Division I

Eight teams. Incorporate the BCS bowls, Cotton, and Cap One into the playoff structure. Everybody who finished ranked outside of the top 8 don't make the playoffs but still go to bowl games. Playoff in place. Remaining 90% of other bowls remain in tact.
